South Side by Iqbal, Vansh DX

South Side works because it does not try to do too much — it finds one feeling and holds it perfectly. Iqbal . built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On South Side, Iqbal, Vansh DX clearly belongs in the second group. a talented ensemble cast are at the heart of South Side, and South Side captures their dynamic at its most compelling.

2026 was a strong year for Punjabi music, and South Side was among the reasons why. There is a quality to South Side that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

The concision of South Side — just 2:06 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. South Side endures because it was built on feeling rather than formula — and that is the one thing streaming numbers cannot manufacture.
